A couple of UK tabloids are reporting that David Tennant is in the frame to host a special one-off revival of the iconic 90's game show, The Crystal Maze. The puzzle-solving team challenge ran from 1990 to 1995 on Channel 4, and was originally hosted by Rocky Horror creator Richard O'Brien, and subsequently by former Tenpole Tudor frontman Ed Tudor-Pole.

Twenty-one years after it last aired, The Crystal Maze is being revived as a big budget celebrity edition in October as part of Channel 4's annual fundraiser Stand Up To Cancer. However, the channel have not ruled out the possibility of the show going to a full series if the special episode is a success.

During the first half of the 1990s The Crystal Maze was one of Channel 4's biggest shows. Earlier this year, an immersive Crystal Maze experience launched in London following a successful crowdfunding appeal.
